Iran plunged into internet blackout as nationwide anti-government turmoil spreads

"Iran was plunged into a nationwide internet blackout Thursday evening as mass anti-

government protests spread around the country, with Iranians shouting slogans against the ruling theocratic regime as anger mounts over economic turmoil and security crackdowns.
Authorities cut internet access and telephone lines immediately after Thursday’s protests in the capital Tehran and other major cities began, although the blackout did not immediately prevent the posting of videos of the protests, now well into their second week." msn
